    Spectacular! We wanted a nice place with a view to celebrate with family our son's Navy discharge. We were just coming from the Alcatraz tour, and were pleasantly surprised to find the Waterfront not packed, but welcoming and charming! View was great, staff were attentive, and food & drinks were perfect! At the end of the evening, the waiter MADE SURE to point out an 18% gratuity was already added in (small print) which I found refreshing for servers, so I upped that! We will be back!

    This is a local gem. You don't have to go to Napa to have a nice glass of wine and enjoy a beautiful view. This is a great place to meet friends or celebrate a special occasion.

    We went for Thanksgiving and the food was absolutely delicious. The wait staff went above and beyond with their service. Our cocktails were well prepared and full of flavor. We ordered the crab artichoke dip and it was incredible. I felt like I was home with traditional Thanksgiving plate that I ordered for my main dish. Thanks again Skates on the Bay for a wonderful Thanksgiving.
